How to Remove Them

What are blackheads?

Well, blackheads are a type of acne called comedones and are characterized by blackish or yellowish bumps on the skin. They are typically present and can be seen in the t-zone area of the face especially around the nose and chin areas.

What causes blackheads?
Blackheads are caused mainly by excessive oil produced and accumulated in the skin’s sebaceous glands. Use of make-ups can also cause these blemishes because these ingredients in the make-up can actually block your skin’s pores.

How to get rid of them?
Blackheads are the most stubborn kind of acne to deal with because, like it or not, they will typically come back in a week or two. The only sure way to minimize and make them seem less noticeable is a good facial cleaning routine. Be sure to clean your face regularly and exfoliate twice a week to get rid of those dead skin cells. Aside from that routine, there are also products out there you can use to get rid of those blackheads, namely: pore strips, topical products, and blackhead extractors. If push comes to shove, going to the dermatologist is the best advice I can give you. They’re the experts in these areas, so set-up an appointment with them so you can find out what’s the best way to deal with these unsightly blemishes.
